Keep an eye out on ebay for used or slightly scuffed panels
Even with the price of a re-spray it can be far cheaper

Albie (another Kent member) had some panels painted on his 1100 - not sure what final price was. It really depends on what you want done, which paints are used, complexity of design and if any damage needs repairing first. I've had a couple of monsters re-painted for £250-300, but that was for everthing.. metal tank, sidepanels, seat cowl, front mudguard and nose fairing, and in the case of trike 2 x rear mudguards as well. http://ukmonster.co.uk/photopost/sho...o=1229&cat=531

Panels wouldn't cost much .
I have a sprayer here who does whole bikes for £80. Streetfighter place uses him and his bikes have got in the normal mags. Shop about or if you want I could ask for you |

Yes.. but Panel Care are near Canterbury, which would be a 200+ mile round trip from Peterborough

True but depends on what you want.
If it's just flat colour go local.. If it's something a little more different then I would have had no hesitation putting some miles in for a good job and I believe they are well priced so what you save in paint job covers your fuel I was planning to travel it's just someone local showed me a great bike and I got a flake gun and it was a huge gamble i'm sure people would rip holes in it but it was a first ..with very very tricky flake. My chaps normal paint and fine flake work is very good and he's done a few that have featured in STreetfighters mag. |

Hello there, if you don't mind me asking what is wrong with your original one's.
The reason i ask is i have just got myself replacement tank panels for my m1100. The reason being i wish to custom paint my bike but don't want to paint over the original colour. One of the panels is new and the othe is used with one or two small marks. |

Hi, I have a standard red set of panels, but quite like the corse (black / white / red) panel, I just don't fancy paying big bucks direct from ducati.
